Mourant has advised DPE Deutsche Private Equity on its recent fundraising for its latest fund, DPE Deutschland IV. German private equity firm DPE is located in Munich.
It closed Fund IV early after the demand greatly exceeded the stipulated maximum cap of €1bn in subscribed capital.
As a result of the demand from institutional investors in Germany and abroad, DPE was able to close the fundraising within four months, when the cap was reached.
Fund IV, like its predecessor funds, invests in small and midsize growth companies, primarily in Germany, Switzerland and Austria.
The Mourant team that advised on the fundraising was led by Partner Joel Hernandez, Counsel John MacFeeters and Paralegal Ellie Wood.
Mourant advised DPE on all Jersey corporate, regulatory and tax matters with regard to feeder fund structuring and fundraising, working with P+P Pöllath + Partners as lead counsel.
